Chapter 211 is here to find me.
"You said you came here to visit relatives? Who are your relatives? Where do they live? Why don't you go to their house?"
Lin Bao asked several questions in one breath, leaving Hua Niang completely bewildered. She opened her mouth but didn't know how to answer.
She didn't know what the relationship was between the person in front of her and Lin Cai, but seeing him come out from inside, they must have a close relationship.
If that's really the case, wouldn't she be exposed if she misspoke even one word?
"They came looking for me, they came seeking refuge with me, but now I'm homeless, so all I can do is..."
The person who spoke had a round face. She said that Hua Niang had come to find her, but I had some doubts about Lin Bao.
They even stared at Hua Niang and the others for a while, but still couldn't recognize them.
Because he had already believed what the little round-faced girl said, he assumed she was unhappy when she saw him not speaking after she finished speaking.
Then he said, "Don't worry, Brother Lin, I won't stay here for long. Once I find a place to stay, I'll take my sister with me..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Bao immediately interrupted Xiao Yuanlian.
"You don't need to leave. You can stay here as long as you want. Don't worry about accommodation; my sister and the others have plenty of rooms."
His voice was so loud, almost like a shout, that even Scarface, who was hungry, couldn't resist coming out to take a look.
Upon closer inspection, he also noticed something was amiss. Lin Bao saw that Hua Niang and the others had changed their attire and were different from the four women from that day, so he didn't recognize them.
But he was different. His eyes wouldn't miss anyone he'd ever seen, let alone old acquaintances like Hua Niang and the others.
Scarface stood under the eaves, his eyes sweeping over Hua Niang and the others. Hongmei and Honglin were both fine, but when it came to Hongxiu's turn...
Hongxiu dodged to the side, her eyes still darting towards Scarface down the corridor.
She was timid and didn't like being stared at, especially not by Scarface's aggressive gaze.
Although she had seen this kind of look many times before, the place was different now, and she felt scared so she didn't want to see it.
Her sudden dodge confirmed Scarface's suspicions, though he was somewhat surprised.
How did four girls from Yichun Garden in Longxing County end up here? One of them, needless to say, is the reason.
The other three are also pillars of Yichun Garden. They just ran here. Has Yichun Garden gone out of business?
You couldn't make it there, so you came here?
Before Scarface could figure it out, a fragrant aroma wafted into his nose, and once he smelled it, he stopped thinking about it.
Why he came here is none of his business. As long as it doesn't bother him, it's none of his concern, and he doesn't want to meddle in other people's business.
Following orders, Gu Nan returned to the General's Mansion and returned with a box in half a day.
An hour has passed since he arrived, and his master has been sitting there staring at the box without moving an inch.
Gu Nan squatted down beside him, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say. Er Shi, who had finished practicing archery, came down and squatted down next to him.
Are you my senior brother?
Gu Nan turned his head and glanced at him: "No, I'm not qualified yet."
"So, are you good at it?"
"You can't beat me."
"Even if my master taught me, I still couldn't beat you?"
"We could beat them, but we can't beat them now."
"Oh."
Ershi looked at Gu Zhan, who still hadn't moved, and asked, "What's in that box?"
Gu Nan glanced at it as well, "Something secret."
"Why doesn't Master open it? Isn't it tiring to just stare at it like that?"
Gu Nan didn't answer the question, and Er Shi didn't seem to need to hear his answer either, because he had finished asking the question and walked away directly.
"Master, I've finished my homework for today. Would you like to come home with me?"
"Mom said she'll cook something delicious today, do you want to come back with me?"
Gu Nan felt that the child was wasting his time. Their master hadn't moved an inch while sitting there, so how could he possibly listen to him now?
But then he was dumbfounded, because he saw his master move and hand the box to the child.
Ershi, holding the box in his hands, asked, "Master, what's inside? Why is it so light?"
He tossed it in his hand and felt something inside, but the thing was very light, so it felt flimsy in his hand.
“That’s for your mother. Take it back and give it to her.”
Ershi gave a curt "oh" upon hearing this, then looked up and asked, "Master, aren't you coming back with me for dinner?"
"I have something to do, so I won't go back. I'll go again when I have time..."
"Alright then, I'll be going now. Master, remember to eat!"
Ershi took the box and left. Gu Nan was stunned. Why did their master hand the box over to that child?
When Lin Cai saw the box, she didn't say anything, took it and put it in the bedroom.
When it was time for bed that night, she sat on the edge of the bed looking at the wooden box in front of her, and didn't move for a long time.
When Ershi came back, he said that the person had been staring at it in the yard for more than two hours.
What was it that made him stare at it for over two hours and even have Ershi bring it back to him?
Lin Cai watched for a while, but instead of opening the wooden box, she put it at the very back of the wardrobe and covered it with clothes.
After the family built a house, everyone had their own room. After Xiaochunhua came back, she slept with Huaduo.
Winter nights are very quiet; even the slightest noise can be heard in the stillness.
A dark figure was walking down the road when he suddenly stopped, looked up at the sky, and saw cold snowflakes drifting down and landing on his face.
The shadowy figure walked to Old Gu's house, knocked on the door, and the door was opened from the inside. Li Guixiang, trembling, held onto the door and stepped back to the side.
A pair of sinister eyes stared at her: "What were you doing just now, taking so long to open the door?"
"No, no, I didn't do anything. I came as soon as I heard the sound, without the slightest delay... Really, everything I said is true..."
Li Guixiang tried to explain that she hadn't delayed anything, but the man looked at her and told her to close the door quickly.
Completely ignoring her own discomfort, she went back to the warm room. Shivering from the cold, Li Guixiang closed the door and shakily returned to her room.
After closing the door, she stood there frozen in the doorway.
In the quiet of the night, there are always some people who can't sleep, and they create disturbing noises to disrupt the silence.
The next morning, the entire Gujia Village was shrouded in a white blanket.
